good hit kevin maybe played shoot shots smart stopped team
We started to shoot too quickly, maybe we played too smart and stopped attacking. We had good shots and didn't make them and that other team was charging. Then Kevin hit that big shot we really needed, the big dagger.
caught created deep knew maybe playing problems wore
Maybe we got a little fatigued there. We keep playing and playing and maybe that caught up with us a little. I created the problems a little. I knew that we were not going back to Morgantown for one day. That wore on us, because we're not a deep team. We need rest.
blend defensive great hear maybe pittsburgh watching
They are a blend of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and maybe a Georgetown with the way they guard. They are just a great defensive team. You hear a lot about it, but, watching it with my own eyes, you can see they have great quickness.
bothered confidence eight elite five game happened lack last led lose louisville maybe texas twice until
I don't think until the Louisville game (in the Elite Eight last season) did we ever lose a game we led in the last minute. Then it happened to us twice in five days. I think (the Texas loss) bothered us for at least another game. Maybe there was a little lack of confidence after that.
ambitious endeavor glad turns
This was an ambitious endeavor by us to come all the way out here, but as it turns out now, I'm glad we did.
ball playing thrilled
We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
canal knew root second
We knew going in that it was going to be a root canal in the second half. They just went after us with everything they had, but in the end, we were still standing.
good looking playing southern team
When you play a team like Southern Illinois, you're looking in the mirror. They are a very good team that has had a very good season, or else we wouldn't be playing them.
direction excited games good national possibly speaks teams television top unless year
We're very excited about our television schedule. To go from one or two national games a year to possibly double-digit games on national television is good news, but you can't get on television unless you play the top teams in the country. It speaks well about the direction of our program.
everybody hard looks open pitt played tremendous tried
Everybody just looks at the stats as the telltale sign. Pitt just played tremendous defense. We tried to get open looks. It was very hard to get them.
might shots won
Two more shots and we might have won this game.
good
We just try to get good shots. We take what's given.
fortunate liked road though tough trip win
We just had a really tough road trip at Pitt, Georgetown and at Seton Hall. There's not too many times you feel fortunate to win one out of three. But I do feel that way, even though we would have liked to win them all, or two out of three.
both final good louisville past pitt played prepared thursday
What's good about it is we played both Pitt and Louisville the past two weeks. We'll be prepared to make the final adjustments Thursday afternoon.
